Loved our second stay at this house

This home is so spacious and perfect for our annual family reunion. Everything is up to date and the house is well stocked. This time, we noticed the brand new large fridge/freezer which was a great addition.

Perfect house. Perfect location.

We enjoyed our stay and wished we could’ve stayed a week longer. Walk to everything. The house had plenty of amenities. Coffee on the porch was the best way to start the morning. The window ac had a little trouble keeping the whole house cool to our liking, but overall, we had an excellent stay. The host was very responsive and quick. Would definitely stay here again.

Felt like home

We loved our stay here this summer. The house was very clean and cozy. My kids said it felt like home. Beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the screened in porch and backyard. Best part was the location, we could easily walk to the beach and downtown East Tawas!

The perfect Tawas rental!

This house has so much space- the pictures don't do it justice! Two of the rooms are giant and one is regular sized. The owner responded quickly to any questions I had. Very open space with everything that we needed. Fun yard games. Close to everything. I will rent this house again.

As expected

Cute, older little house. Perfect for a quick weekend trip. Only a block from town which offers shopping, and restaurants. Close to pier and beach. Great option if you don’t mind not staying on the lake. Enjoyed the campfire and laundry provided. Downsides: small fridge, no propane for grill, narrow driveway due to trees, and upstairs is extremely hot (unit could not keep bedroom cold).

East Tawas house

99% great. Kitchen sink faucet needs to be replaced. We pushed button to try to soften water flow and wound up with no water for part of a day.

Fun For Everyone

Terrie is the best. She is so nice and flexible. We love staying at her cozy cute house. This is a return stay for us and we love it. The home is decorated cute and has plenty of space. It is so clean. There is coffee and snacks upon arrival which really helped us as our adult children were hungry upon arrival. The beds are comfy and the rooms are all so spacious. There are fun yard games available which our kids played and even a fire pit with some wood included for that backyard slowdown by a fire. The location is perfect. Since we are a family with adult kids, we wake at different times. Being a walk to town the boys went to breakfast later, some walked the pier, while my husband and I were early birds and rose and went to town at a different time. This location allows happy independence for everyone. Thanks Terrie! We had a wonderful summer holiday together.

Adventurous weekend

We had a lovely time over all but a terrible storm blew through and knocked out the electricity. Terrie moved us over to her other house where we set up Farley quickly. With the quick leaving we were unable to clean up our dinner and feel terrible about it! Thank you for everything!

Gem in East Tawas

Terrie is an awesome host. Checking in and out was convenient and allowed flexibility. The property is so cute and very clean. The King sized bed is very comfortable and that was important to us. We like outdoor tubing and boating and feel a comfortable night’s sleep is essential. I slept very well. The house is spacious and we appreciated that as well. The walk to town was so nice. Everyone went to breakfast at a different time and it was easy to get to town and back. Thanks Terrie for an awesome stay. We will be back next year.
